  • 9. a Fixed Abode: Neolithic Houses in County Carlow TJ O’Connell and Nial O’Neill
    9. A fixed abode: Neolithic houses in County Carlow TJ O’Connell and Nial O’Neill Illus. 1—Location of the sites at Russellstown and Busherstown, Co. Carlow (based on the Ordnance Survey Ireland map). The type of evidence that archaeologists uncover for Neolithic settlement in Ireland can come in a variety of forms, ranging from small-scale temporary sites to larger, more permanent enclosed landscapes such as the Céide fields in County Mayo. Neolithic buildings form one part of this mosaic of settlement evidence. The remains of two Early Neolithic rectangular houses were excavated in the townlands of Russellstown and Busherstown, Co. Carlow, by Headland Archaeology Ltd in 2006 on behalf of Carlow County Council and the NRA.1 This work was undertaken in advance of construction works for the N9/N10 Kilcullen–Waterford Road Scheme: Prumpelstown to Powerstown (Illus. 1). Their identification and excavation provide important additions to our knowledge of this site type in a part of the country where they have not been documented previously. Prior to the discovery of these buildings, evidence of Neolithic settlement in County Carlow was limited to a number of impressive funerary monuments, such as Kernanstown Portal Tomb (Record of Monuments and Places no. CW007-010), known locally as Brownshill Dolmen, and the Baunogenasraid Linkardstown-type burial tomb (CW008- 031001). Both the Russellstown and Busherstown sites were located within a 3.5 km radius of Brownshill Dolmen and within 5 km of the Baunogenasraid tumulus. Although it cannot 85 Dining and Dwelling be proven at present, the likelihood that those involved in building these tombs may have lived in one or both of the houses under discussion cannot be discounted.

  • Wattle and Daub
    Wattle and Daub ”The greatest part of our building in the cities and good towns of England consisteth only of timber, for as yet few of the houses of the communalty (except here and there in the west country towns) are made of stone….’these english’, quoth he [a Spaniard of Queen Mary’s day] , 'have their houses made of sticks and dirt, but they fare commonly so well as the king”. William Harrison, Description of England, 1587 Wattle and daub is the term for the panels of woven wood and mud used to fill between the timbers of many of the Museum’s buildings. This combination of materials has been used since at least the Bronze Age; fragmentary remains of daub-like mixtures bearing wattle imprints often survive in the archaeological record having been ‘fired’ as a building burnt down and waterlogged remains of wattle panels occasionally survive also. Brick nogging might also have been used to fill in between the timbers but this was also sometimes used to replace earlier wattle and daub. Evidence for the previous existence for wattle and daub panels may come from marks left on the main timbers by daub, and from auger holes drilled into the upper timber of the panel and grooves cut into the lower where the uprights for the wattle were fitted in. Timber framing with wattle and daub panels was the dominant form of building construction in many parts of England and Wales from the mid 12th century. It was common in some areas until the late 18th century and was used into the 19th century for lower status housing.

  • Wattle and Daub (KS2)
    Schools Wattle and Daub (KS2) How did people build houses in the Stone Age? Let’s go back in time and build one! Trees have been used to build houses for thousands of years. Wattle and daub are building materials used to make these houses in the Stone/Bronze/Iron Age across Britain and Western Europe. What you’ll need • Wattle and daub kits (can be loaned from City of Trees) • Air dry clay Subjects • Hay • Water History, Science, • Mixing bowl Art & design Learning Objectives: • Ability to address and devise historically relevant questions • Understanding of Stone/Bronze/Iron Age life • Ability to note connections and trends between Stone/Bronze/Iron Age technologies Lesson Plan: Warm up/Introduction Role-playing: Find the right materials to build a house. The children must first find a strong oak tree for the long posts of their house, then willow, hazel, or birch for the structure of the walls and then mud to complete their walls. A full script for this role-playing activity is in Appendix A. Main Learning 1. Split children into groups of 4 or 5 2. Half of the groups will make the ‘wattle’ and the other half the ‘daub.’ 3. Step by step instructions for each of these two components are in Appendix B 4. Once all the groups have finished making their wattle or daub, each daub groups will pair up with a wattle group to complete the build together as show in Appendix B. Additional Activities: Cave painting or Celtic runes If you build the wall in the morning using air dry clay, pop it on the windowsill or another warm place to let it dry.

  • Die Neolitisches Tellsiedlung in Gălăbnik by Juraj Pavúk
    The Prehistoric Society Book Reviews DIE NEOLITISCHES TELLSIEDLUNG IN GĂLĂBNIK BY JURAJ PAVÚK AND ANETA BAKAMSKA Mitteilungen der Prähistorischen Kommission 91. Wien: Verlag der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. 2021. 435pp, 153 figures, 81 photos, pb, €169.00 This volume neatly bookends two of the principal features of the Aegean–Balkan–Carpathian (‘ABC’) Neolithic – the endless debates over typo-chronology and the immense richness of settlement finds. In the former, the tell stratigraphy of Argissa Magula, in Thessaly, Greece, casts a long shadow over Balkan Neolithic studies. Vladimir Milojčić’ sequence of five stages for the Early and Middle Neolithic (Aceramic; Monochrome; Proto-Sesklo; Pre-Sesklo; and Sesklo) is largely responsible for three issues for the spread of the Balkan Neolithic: the existence of an aceramic stage in Greece and the Balkans as well as in the Near East, the existence of a monochrome stage without painted pottery in the Balkans and the possibility of a threefold division of the Early Neolithic in the Balkans. While we cannot state for certain that all three possibilities have been conclusively falsified for the Balkans, this is now the most likely interpretation of the mass of new site evidence accumulated since Milojčić’ excavations in the 1950s. Unfortunately, the third dubious possibility is the basis for Pavúk and Bakamska’s otherwise impressive monograph on the site of Gălăbnik. Moreover, throughout post-Milojčić discussions of Greek and Balkan Neolithic chronology, there has been a virtually unchallenged equation between ‘pots’ and ‘people’ that has long since been discarded in other regions of Europe and beyond. Welcome to the Balkan Neolithic! The Gălăbnik volume, dedicated to the late Mikhail Chohadzhiev, is divided into two parts.

Archaeological micromorphology is still a nascent field in Australia and, more generally, in arid and semi-arid environments, and as such would benefit from a reference collection to help identify cultural and non-cultural remains and features in this region. Here we introduce the beginnings of an archaeological micromorphological reference collection themed around material from northwest Australia. Reference material includes lithogenic and biogenic components such as stone artefacts, shells, plants and scats from native fauna and sedimentary contextual features from archaeological sites in the Kimberley and coastal Pilbara regions. This reference collection is useful for teaching and research, including regional Quaternary studies, and we encourage the development of similar regional micromorphological datasets for other parts of the continent and dryland environments more generally.

AFRICAN ARCHITECTUAL TRANSFERENCE TO TIlE SOUTII CARLIN'A LOW COUNTY, 1700-1880 Fritz Hamer and Michael Trink1ey ABSTRACT There is growing historical and archaeological evidence that African style housing was an integral pan of slave communities on plantations in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Besides the "shotgun" house, other African housefonns were built in Nonh America before descendants of African slaves became acculturated to western construction techniques. The rarity of historical and archaeological evidence of these structures can be attributed to the culture bias of early white observers and the poor preservation of these impennanent structures in the archaeological record. Introduction In 1907 an American ethnographer discovered a group of African-Americans living in Edgefield County, South Carolina near the Savannah River who convincingly demonstrated that they were born and raised in Africa. The evidence showed that they were one of the last of the illegal slave shipments brought into the South on the Wanderer in 1858, forty-nine years earlier.

Because this land was invaded by the British in 1788 and became the British colony of New South Wales, the main British architectural styles at that time were ‘transported’ to the colony.

Dwellings and related struetures in prehistoric mainland Finland By Milton Nunez and Pirjo Uino Despite an early interest in the subject', organized farmers. The location of most sites mentioned here efforts to learn about prehistoric building structu¬ can be seen in the map of Figure 1. res in mainland Finland did not begin to materiali¬ ze until 20-25 years ago. Apparently excavating tbe obvious grave mounds was more rewarding than searching for indiscernible building remains, which generally were investigated only after acci¬ dental discovery. In contrast Finnish archaeologists sought the more conspicuous Metal Age founda¬ tions on the Åland Islands^ and the Stone Age dwelling depressions in the mainland after their discovery in 1950. The 1970s marked a turning point with C.F. Meinander’s project on Finnish Iron Age society, which included the investigation of building foundations and demonstrated that there was much to gain from the systematic inve- 4 stigation of prehistoric building remains. This paper attempts to summarize what we have learned from this incipient branch of archaeological re¬ search in Finland. For the sake of presentation the known prehistoric building forms have been somewhat arbitrarily grouped into two major cate¬ gories according to lifeways and chronology: Stone Age and Metal Age forms. The first would be mainly related to hunter-gatberers, the latter to Figure 1.

  • Chapter One Greek Environment and Prehistory
    Chapter One Greek Environment and Prehistory GREEK ENVIRONMENT AND PREHISTORY Greece in prehistory lay on the peripheries of the wider Mediterranean world, and it was slow to enter fully into that world. Formed by the Pindus mountain range, which extends from the European continent toward the southeast until it is submerged in the Aegean Sea, Greece has a jagged coastline, making access to the sea difficult in some places. The land was broken by mountains, and many of the plains are so small that they can support only a single settlement. Even where land exists, much of it is rocky and poor. Rivers are small and usually dry up in the summer, making agriculture dependent upon rainfall and offering no prospects for the large-scale irrigation projects made possible by the annual flooding of the rivers of the Fertile Crescent. No large, unified state that commanded large numbers of workers could arise under these conditions. But 72 percent of Greek land is within 25 miles of the sea, and access to the sea was a crucial element from the earliest period of Greek history. Out of Africa Africa is widely considered to have been the original homeland of humans or their hominin ancestors. This has been supported most recently by a theory of the development of human languages, in which language in the original place of origin was marked by high phonemic diversity and decreased with increasing distance from the point of origin. Human lan- guages do display such a pattern of decreasing diversity in accordance with their distance from Africa, which is thus suggested to have been their origin.1 The traditional view is that over the course of millennia people wandered out from Africa, following a land route along the Levantine Corridor and eventually reaching the area of the upper Tigris and Euphrates Rivers (the “Hilly Flanks”) in which rain-fed culti- vation was possible.
